What Is a Dental Crown?
When a tooth’s structure has decayed to the point where a filling isn’t enough, your dentist may recommend a crown or cap. A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size, and protecting and strengthening it.
Crowns are generally considered for broken or fractured teeth, have large or fractured fillings, have undergone a root canal, or are heavily decayed. They are also sometimes used for cosmetic enhancement. Crowns are highly durable, but may eventually need replacing.

How Long Do Crowns Last?
The lifetime of your dental crown will depend on your overall oral health, as well as how well you care for your teeth. By practicing good at-home care and maintaining your regular checkup schedule, you can expect your crown to last 10-15 years before needing to be repaired or replaced.
